Action for Children - Short Breaks Service

Action for Children has been running short breaks for children with aged 5–18 years, with ASD and other special needs and disabilities in Islington since 2012.

Our team of experienced staff help the children to make independent choices at the play centre. The play centre has a mixture of structured activities and free play which support the continuous learning and development of your child outside school.

We use approved learning tools aimed to provide the best outcomes for each individual child. The Cubitt play centre has a sensory room, a 1:1 activity room, and a 'chill out' room. We have a big hall with ball pit and a small hall. In addition we have a lovely enclosed garden and playground with a trampoline, swings, and tower with slide. We also have access to bikes and a bouncy castle.
